E-waste is a big problem. But, it will pale in comparison to the waste from wind and solar panels that only last about fifteen years compared to a natural gas power plant that will last at least five decades. And then there is the coming eco nightmare of unrecycled e-car batteries.

The limousine and luxury-suite lifestyle of our oblivious, rapacious leadership

Increasingly strapped Canadians have a right to expect those at the top of the order of precedence will lead by example

It speaks to the culture of spending that pervades official Ottawa that nobody saw anything wrong with spending $71,000 on limousine services when the Governor General visited Iceland for four days last year, even though much of the program took place half a kilometre from Mary Simon's hotel in Reykjavik.



One of the main topics under discussion at the Arctic Circle Assembly was the need to cut emissions to fight climate change. You can rely on Rideau Hall to provide comedy gold.



As Franco Terrazzano of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation rightly said, it would have been cheaper for the government to buy a brand-new BMW, use it for the duration of the trip and, then leave it outside the airport with the keys in it when Her Excellency left the country.

Former Secretary of State John Kerry was forced to reveal his use of private flights since assuming the role of the United States special presidential envoy for climate, as he struggled to remember exactly how many times he has done so in an official capacity.



Kerry answered questions during a congressional committee hearing, when he spoke to Republican Rep. Mike Waltz of Florida and raised the topic of private flights himself, according to the New York Post. Kerry called the idea that he flies around the world privately a "persistent lie" and explained that he doesn't "own a private jet," adding that he's "personally never owned a private jet."



Kerry appeared to be dismissing the reality that his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, owned a jet as recently as 2022. The jet was sold due to criticism against the family, according to the Washington Examiner, which reported in February 2023 that Kerry's State Department spokeswoman, Whitney Smith, said, "I can confirm the plane previously owned by his wife's family was sold last summer."



After Waltz reminded Kerry of the reports, Kerry admitted, "Yes, my wife owned a plane."



"You've flown on that plane?" Waltz asked.



"Not in a number of years," Kerry replied.



"When we are asking Americans to make serious sacrifices as we transition for the common good, and your family and yourself are flying around on private jets, that smacks of hypocrisy," the Republican continued.
